Port Authority names 2 to permanent aviation department jobs

NEW YORK — The Port Authority appointed the two men who have been running its aviation department on an acting basis since the departure of Susan Baer in July to permanent posts Wednesday.

Thomas Bosco, general manager at LaGuardia, was named aviation director, and Huntley Lawrence, general manager at Newark Liberty, deputy director.

In a statement, Pat Foye, the Port Authority’s executive director, said the agency was fortunate to have two men with more than a half-century of experience in aviation between them to oversee the nation’s largest airport operation – and the agency’s largest revenue-generating division.

“Their leadership, experience and continuity will serve the agency well as we undertake $8 billion in capital investments to modernize our airports over the next decade,” said Foye.
